So it’s not Mauer it’s votto?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN the embarrassment is making Mauer the legend in the first place. I thought miggy was a boring pick, this is worse. Twins fans will be stoked, but its just silly.
Im in the 800s and I never see anyone using miggy, and nobody is giving up on posads for mauer. It shoudl have been someone with name recognition. They should have swapped 99 collection mauer with the new 96 Darren oday.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I get that it’s Darren O’Day but spending a big collection spot on a reliever that isn’t literally Mariano Rivera is a tough sell
Also Joe Mauer has plenty of name recognition - I get being disappointed it’s not someone you actually want to play as in ranked but this is a little too comp-brain for me
-
Joe Mauer is a terrible choice, all the small collections are better than a 99 mauer. J Ram , ketel, mantle. I don’t care is joes stats or better or is he’s a 99 those cards are better.
I have 99 miggy on the bench as Santana is better being a switch and an elite swing
-
Mauer has a great swing in this game. His contact, vision, clutch, fielding and pop time will be elite. Kind of hard to complain about Mauer. Everyone is complaining about base stealing. Well here you go! Probably give him 1st secondary as well. Will be a great card.
-
Mauer is great card it’s just that he isn’t apart of the switch hitting Meta.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS right exactly. I use the cards i like. I can care less about switch hitters. Only time I go opposite is if im struggling against someone same sided. Other than that I rock the players I like.
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN Votto and Robinson are the only players with a.409 OBP
-
@CrashGinny2_PSN can you read? Victor Martinez also fits as does Ken Singleton who are both in the game
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN The problem isn’t Mauer. The problem is Santana, Posada, VMart, Ruiz… When you are constantly giving us switch hitters as all the best players in the game, it dulls the excitement for a 99 who probably won’t be a better option than what we already have.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN feel like Mauer is one of those players it doesn’t matter that he isn’t a switch hitter
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I mean that’s fair - the switch hitter meta is pretty tired
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS If he’s 125 contact/clutch 100+ power and 90+ arm/pop time, yes. I expect to be disappointed.
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN I’m not even one who typically complains about switch hitters, but when all the best hitters are switch this early in the cycle, it blunts every piece of content that isn’t a switch hitter. The problem is putting switch hitters into collections and chase packs is best for their wallet. They aren’t concerned about good cohesive content anymore. It’s all about profit and it’s killing the game. The optimal lineup shouldn’t be all switch hitters until late in the cycle.
-
I think the Developers at SDS would get physically Ill if they released any Reds or Twins
-
@victoryphoenix_PSN V mart would be another tiger tho since he already has a Cleveland card.
-
It’s a 2nd half hero’s card. Mauer 2006 had a .409 OBP in the 2nd half of the season.
-
@llWhiteFeatherll_PSN I think it’s still Mauer we are thinking to deep into it.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN Yeah, SDS isn’t changing bc of a leak. They don’t care lol
-
And now you have a Pudge card that is going to throw out runners
-
@rageincage007_XBL the pudge does look rly good especially with power mod.
